4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi, @lance-comfort – do you have any other images of this fossil? Maybe one from the other side and one showing a lateral view?
You can use Macrostrat to narrow in on the formation you found this in: https://macrostrat.org/map/#/z=11.5/x=-78.6397/y=33.8236/bedrock/lines/Possibly the Peedee formation? Maybe @lcone or @lmccall could chime in with…[Read more]

4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi, @lance-comfort – I couldn’t find any information on genus Kodiopsis, is there a spelling error or was it a newly described taxon? @jeanette-pirlo@vperez – can you all speak to the identification of this fossil?
Talk to you soon, Jen

4 years, 8 months ago4 years, 8 months agoHi, @lance-comfort – I think the family name is spelled incorrectly – can you double check? I found Faujasiidae on iDigBio. We can also include higher order classification Kingdom Animalia > Phylum Echinodermata > Class Echinoidea
Do you have an image of the other side of this specimen? That always helps narrow down and confirm identifications.…[Read more]

6 years, 3 months ago6 years, 3 months agoHi Fossil Experts! @tom-piscitelli found these specimens in North Myrtle Beach, SC in November 2017.
Here is some info about the finds:
They were all beach finds with no natural outcrop. After a recent hurricane, the beach has been replenished, and Tom was told that the material was from 3 miles off shore. Tom also found more than 300…[Read more]

7 years, 2 months ago7 years, 2 months agoHi Lance @lance-comfort, I am just trying to learn about fossil identification so I think your knowledge base is much greater than mine. I did do some web searches about Lopha species. I did find one East Coast citation in North Carolina for Lopha frons

7 years, 2 months ago7 years, 2 months ago@lance-comfort – It’s not that there’s no interest, it has just been an extremely busy week. I apologize for the delay. I’m not an oyster specialist. Perhaps @lmccall could provide some assistance? She’s in your general region. Or perhaps @michael-reagin could help? He is very knowledgeable about mollusks.

7 years, 3 months ago7 years, 3 months ago@lance-comfort Lance, I agree that the last photo does indeed look like sponge spicules so I believe it is a sponge. That’s about as much help as I can give you as there are lots of kinds of sponges and my minimal knowledge is in the Ordovician ones. Are you a member of the North Carolina Fossil Club? If not, I think you should join as I’d be…[Read more]

7 years, 3 months ago7 years, 3 months ago@lance-comfort @lmccall@jim-chandler Lance, I had to look that ID up on Google. I’m an invertebrate guy. After looking up Tilly Bone and the more technical term I was still unsure if this thing is some kind of normal fish part or a pathological one. Anyway, a very interesting find.

7 years, 3 months ago7 years, 3 months ago@lance-comfort I presume this is mineralized? Certainly looks interesting. You might want to ask @lmccall since she is in your area. Maybe she has seen something like that.
